As we all have learned lately, uninterrupted work is key to staying productive. This new world of work has brought triumphs but is coupled with even more challenges. Context switching between solutions and managing disparate processes can be disruptive to overall productivity.

Citrix ShareFile brings together not only your content and data in one place, it also integrates a native e-signature solution in one tool. Citrix is excited to announce that it’s furthering its commitment to seamless work by simplifying e-signature workflows from Citrix Files.

This new capability, offered for both Windows and macOS users, enables a user to initiate an e-signature workflow straight from their Citrix Files on their computer, without opening a web application to send for signature. Citrix ShareFile users can now streamline their agreement processes no matter where they choose to work with just few simple clicks.
